Page 3 - Dan Wesson 2.5" Silver Reviews

Very realistic to a regular firearm. Good heft, familiar operation, and sized about the same as a normal .357 revolver. Single and double action both work very well. Great sights. Makes a terrific training tool for my young daughters. Shoots nicely, and plenty accurate. This gun is really FUN to shoot!

The grips are plastic, and a bit cheap feeling. It would be worth an extra few dollars for the grips to have a rubberized texture, like Hogue grips. Everything else about this gun screams "realism" except for the grips.

I chronographed this gun, and I measured an average velocity of 349 fps, better than the listed velocity of 318 fps. It easily punctures aluminum cans and is a blast to shoot fast. CO2 cartridges last for a long time, probably 60 to 80 shots with consistent performance. I do wish I would have ordered spare faux cartridges to go with this gun. It came with six, but having another dozen would likely enhance the shooting experience. This gun is great, really glad I bought it!

Love everything about this gun! Loading the bullets adds to the realism of the gun.

I wish the grips were wood, or some other material than plastic.

Great gun.

Very realistic in weight and design. Overall skillfully crafted.

The single feature I would like to see more detail put into is the hammer. It very much reminds me of the seamed, molded hammer of my childhood cap gun.

I bought this pistol for my wife to practice at home. She has a 38 that is almost identical in weight and even the trigger is about the same. It is just as accurate and since it is she can practice at home inexpensively, quietly and without going to the range 30 miles away.

I would set it up so .177 pellets would fit in the nose of the "bullets" instead of BB'S. Maybe in a newer revision.

The wieght and feel of this gun is impressive. Makes for plinking fun.

Very slight rattle from the shell, but hardly worth mentioning.

Almost all metal constructon, weight and feel of a real revolver, nice fit and finish overall.

Hammer finish could be a bit better.

Loading is easy, but extra bullets, though pricey, will let you shoot more rounds quickly.

ridiculously accurate at 10 yards. from iron sites only, bulls eye 5/6 shots right out of the box.

The looks are pretty cool,weight is awesome,pretty accurate for a BB gun.The double action trigger pull is not bad and the single action is light.

It would be nicer if it was scaled down just a little. It feels a little larger than a Colt bulldog firearm. But I guess it represents a Dan Wesson well. I've never handled a Dan Wesson snub nose revolver firearm.

love ,love, love . only a word, fantastic.

nothing

this airgun is amazing, the finis is pretty well.

Nice looking heavy small pistol. Shoots loud. Good accuracy for BB gun.

Plastic hand grip, general quality of body polishing.

Good gun. It isn't small.

There are many things about this Dan Wesson Silver 2.5 inch CO2 BB revolver. The highly polished silver chrome finish makes this a very beautiful revolver. The rotating "bullet" cylinder with the "bullet" BB holders make this gun a more complete replica of an actual snub nose revolver firearm. Since I have already reviewed the Dan Wesson Gold 2.5 inch revolver, I am going to brief here and recommend that folks read my review of the Gold revolver as much of that review applies here. Overall, this Dan Wesson revolver is a lot of fun to shoot.

I would like to replace the plastic grip with a rubber grip and make the double action trigger mechanism smoother. Refer to my review of the Dan Wesson 2.5 inch Gold revolver for more details.

With this Dan Wesson Silver revolver, I got about 180 shots per CO2 cartridge which is more than the 120 shots I got with the Dan Wesson Gold version. I have had this Silver revolver a little over a year now and never had any mechanical problems with it. I highly recommend purchasing this revolver.

i like how realistic it is when your shooting cleaning oiling loading or just simply holding it its just hard to believe its a bb shooter so much fun quality built good metals used hard to put down cant just shoot one co2 lol per session and with price of gas product price is good

nothing i can think of ill just sit back and wait for asg to come out with something else mindblowing

ya know people say alot about grips and accracy my opinion is any time your thinking negative just remember what you paid and what you recieved cant please everyone and as far as accracy goes if you were expecting that you shouldent of bought a action replica plinker!!! have good times and pete sake were safteyglasses they get on my nerves too but i still have two eyes

Good weight, very nice looks!

Nope........

Beware of extra costs e.g. charges for local provincial taxes which aren't valid! I'd buy more of this quality item if the 'unstated hidden, extra costs' weren't added on!

I'm impressed by this amazing revolver, is something I never imagined much valuable waiting to have it. I thank you because I'm very happy in being able to enjoy. Thank you agaim

i love the overall realism of this gun with the mock shells, realistic chamber rotation and just every little detail! this gun looks and feels just like the real thing with barely any noticeable differences. this gun is a good shooter that reminds me of the earlier days when learning to shoot with my dads real one, so it brings back great memories! an overall awesome looker and shooter!

the grips seem a little flimsy, although if you take care of the gun that shouldn't be a problem

I hear that real 357 shells and 38 shells will fit into the chamber of this gun! that just shows the attention to detail and how close of a replica this gun is! so if you are into realism and are looking for a revolver, don't hesitate to buy this or any of its bigger brothers

The look, the feel, the heft , the cylinder, bullets ,do I have to go on !!! Its a looker thats for sure.

Definitely the grips oh so sorry grips I do like how they open but they just feel and work cheaply compared to the rest of the gun..but I would not let that impact the purchase of a D Wess

The accuracy on the 2.5 is not great

This was my second purchase from Pyramyd Air. I like and own real guns also, But this little jewel caught my eye. I have really enjoyed shooting it and showing it off. This gun is as real as it gets!

Some say the "grips" are a little cheap? I think the overall design of this gun is great including the grips!! I wouldn't change anything.

Be sure to buy extra shells with the purchase. You'll be glad you did!

Realistic, accurate even with smooth bore, great feel and balance, overall, the most enjoyable co2 pistol I own and shoot!

Manufacture cartriges to accept pellets. Even better, make a model with rifled barrel as well as cartiges that accept pellets.

Buy one, you'll enjoy it!

The fist thing you will notice is how great it looks and feels in your hand.FIRST RATE .. I havn't taken the time to shoot it for accuracy . It does fire very smoothly.Get one you will love it

Not a thing !

It will be the prize of your pistol collection

I did a review over 10 days ago! Then this little jewel disappeared from your site for a couple days? I'm guessing my review did also. I would like to say that this is the most realistic BB shooter to a real pistol that could be produced. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.The gun works Great!!

Although other comments have stated the "Grips" are cheap, I think they are very good. I can't see where there should be any changes!

Be sure to get extra shells. Its worth at least 6 more!
